Here are your Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers:
Winnipeg Free Press: From Zero to Hero in 2:04—Not sure why people say from the “doghouse to the penthouse” anymore. Who has a doghouse anymore? My dog lives a better life than I do—never has to do any work, always has food available. In any event, Burmistrov did well last night after not doing so well beforehand.
Winnipeg Free Press: Next Stop: The Nation’s Capital—Jets get right back at it, this time in Ottawa. Will they play better in Ottawa under a Liberal government, than they did under a Conservative government (2-3-0)?
Winnipeg Sun: Burmistrov’s Beauty Beats Buds—A big win for the Jets, as there is nothing more demoralizing than losing to the Leafs.
Winnipeg Sun: Cormier Called Up, Copp on the Mend—With the Jets rookie centre banged up, the team has turned to a familiar face in Cormier to fill the roster spot
Canadian Press: Burmistrov Sends Partisan Jets Crowd Home Happy—With so many expat Winnipeggers in Toronto, it was no surprise that the True North shout-out was particularly strong last night.
Toronto Star: Leafs Loss Hard to Stomach after Solid Effort—Organizations may tank, but players don’t, which makes last night’s defeat all the more galling for Leafs players
Toronto Star: Ehlers Turning Heads in Rookie Campaign—They are taking notice of the Jets rookie throughout the NHL
Toronto Sun: Loss in Physical Game Leaves More Bruises than the Bodychecks—Another game, another late game collapse and loss by the Leafs
